"What truly makes Brian special isn't how much he cares about the tech, it's how much he cares about the people. He never stops pushing his team to grow technically, professionally, and personally. He isn't afraid to make hard decisions if he knows it is in his engineers' best interest in the long term."
"Brian is the rare combination of extremely intelligent, hard working, and easy to talk to. I've seen him tackle complex problems with utmost confidence, and come up with a solution that he could articulate simply. He is a great motivator, and he cares deeply about his teams. He's down to earth and always willing to lend a helping hand. It would truly be a shame not to work with Brian!"
"Brian grew our team from 2 to 25 engineers with zero turnover. His toolbox of strong business intelligence, effective leadership, and empathetic mentorship produced one of the highest performing teams in the company."
"Brian very clearly stated his 5-year plan was to be running the department. I managed him for 3 years and watched him grow from managing 2 people to leading 25+ engineers. His radical candor was always received well and his team flourished as a result. His team was a reflection of him: high quality, dedicated, and always delivering results."
"Indecision is worse than making the wrong choice. At least with action, you learn something."— James S.A. Corey, The Expanse
